- We are thrilled to announce our new publication in @CellCellPress today. We go from a human variant JAK1 discovered by @TurveyLab in 2017 to unveiling a novel #neuroimmune axis in the airway. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
- I remember Ethan Shevach talking about how he reviewed this paper in @J_Immunol and only accepted it because he thought “why not let this crazy idea through”, though all reviewers were highly skeptical. Not all Nobel Prize papers have to be in glam journals; they likely require aThis year’s medicine laureate Shimon Sakaguchi discovered a new class of T cells. Sakaguchi was swimming against the tide in 1995, when he made a key discovery. At the time, many researchers were convinced that immune tolerance only developed due to potentially harmful immune
- Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome are a chicken and the egg scenario that needs clarification and mast cell therapies will greatly inform us better in the near future
- BIG NEWS! The Allen Discovery Center for Neuroimmune Interactions with @CellSymposia will co-host the next Neuro-immune axis symposium on September 7-9, 2025 in NYC! Keynotes include @NobelPrize recipient David Julius and @salkinstitute @Tcellogic. cell-symposia.com/neuroimmunolog…
- Many immunologists ask me for a quick primer on neuroimmunology. This review by @keatonsong is a great way to dip your toe in the pool of the greatest biology of the next decade!
- Submitted our new paper to @Nature which will undergo traditional closed review by volunteer reviewers, posted preprint to @researchsquare for all to see, shared on @ResearchHub for preprint to be reviewed publicly. Our reviewers @ResearchHub will be paid and those reviews will

- Unsolicited advice to new PIs and my opinion only not fact: As a new Assistant Professor, you have a 1-1.5 year window where you can get an R01 without a corresponding author paper IF you have a high impact 1st author paper from your postdoc. After that, it seems no amount of

- The vagus nerve is very important in suppressing systemic inflammation. It sets off a series neurotransmitters along a neuroimmune circuit. Much more to be learned about how many other players are involved and the diversity of diseases impacted. @KevinJTraceyMD @keatonsong
